OCUN
Kestrel
The OCUN Kestrel is a fully rated, ultralight wire gate karabiner weighing just 25g, making it ideal for trad and alpine climbing where minimal weight is critical. Its wire gate prevents gate flutter and freezing, while its optimized design delivers 23 kN of major axis strength in a compact profile. Perfect for racking, slings, or emergency use, the Kestrel is certified to UIAA and EN standards and comes in colours matching cam sizes for seamless gear organization.
OCUN
Falcon
The OCUN Falcon is the largest D-shaped karabiner in their collection. The Falcon is a karabiner of usual dimensions suitable for equipping climbing routes. It's popular especially amongst climbers who prefer the traditional routes and sandstone climbing. This karabiner is suitable for those who prefer maximum strength and reliability to low weight.
DMM
Ultra O
The DMM Ultra O is a karabiner with symmetrical rope baskets, this makes it ideal for assisted breaking devices, pulleys, swivels and shackles. Oval karabiners allow pulleys to sit in an equalised position, the symmetrical shape also lessens the chance of shifting under load and potentially dislodging a marginal gear placement. The Ultra O is the perfect climbing aid!
DMM
Shadow HMS
The DMM Shadow HMS is a large yet lightweight HMS karabiner, designed for efficient belaying, rigging, and ropework. With a wide, deep basket that easily holds up to three clove hitches (<9.5mm rope) and a short gate for maximum opening, it delivers excellent handling and strength in a compact form. Available in Screwgate and multiple locking gate options, it’s an essential choice for climbers and professionals seeking high performance with low weight.
DMM
Shadow
The DMM Shadow is a lightweight, high-strength locking karabiner with a snag-free keylock nose and ergonomic Offset D-shape. Built using I-Beam construction for optimal strength-to-weight performance, it’s ideal for climbing, rigging, and all-round use.

DMM
Shadow Colour - 3 Pack
DMM have taken their best loved Shadow karabiners and coloured them in! This is to reduce confusion on the rock and simplify systems, plus it adds some razzle dazzle to your rack! Each karabiner looks very different, even in poor lighting - making it easier to distinguish what is what. These are suited for climbers of all abilities, who want easy identification of kit.
DMM
Revolver Wiregate
A revolution in more ways than one! The DMM Revolver wire gated karabiner features a small wheel in the rope location groove. The result is a reduction in rope drag of up to 30%, which can, in effect, reduce the weight of your rope. A Revolver on your rack lets you reduce rope drag and make efficient mechanical advantage systems without the need for additional devices.
DMM
Revolver
The DMM Revolver is certified for use as both a karabiner and a pulley. It is the same as DMM's standard Revolver karabiner, but it features a locking gate which provides extra security. There is a small wheel in the rope location groove to reduce rope drag, allowing the rope to run more efficiently through the karabiner. The Revolver is also highly useful for creating lightweight hauling systems. If you need to haul kit, a partner, or perform crevasse rescue, the pulley wheel increases the efficiency and converting more of your energy into movement.
DMM
Phantom HMS
The DMM Phantom HMS is an extremely compact and lightweight, yet strong karabiner with an optimised rope bearing surface that's ideally suited for belaying and rigging. The extra-short gate and slim tapering nose can easily take clove hitches and clipping slings.
DMM
Phantom
The DMM Phantom is their ultimate trad and alpine screwgate Karabiner, and when you hold those 42 grams you will understand why! They claim they could have made it even lighter, but didn't want to compromise the handling or strength. As you can see from the specification below the strength is still impressive and the gate opening reasonable for a small D shaped karabiner.
DMM
PerfectO Straight Gate
The DMM PerfectO Straight Gate is a true oval, compact karabiner that maintains the ease of use (even one-handed). Its shape provides effective centring of loads and the fully rounded rope bearing areas increase carabiner and rope longevity.

Its ergonomics ensure that it is still easily operated whilst wearing gloves and the curved basket copes with even the busiest rigging set ups, allowing devices to settle comfortably.
Beal
Orient Express
The Beal Orient Express is a high performing unidirectional locking karabiner, expertly designed for climbers who prioritize safety and reliability. Engineered for use with belay devices, it features an innovative internal snap gate that securely clips onto your harness belay loop. This smart design prevents the karabiner from rotating or flipping over, ensuring it stays perfectly aligned during use. By maintaining the correct orientation, the Beal Orient Express significantly reduces the risk of cross-loading, keeping your belay system strong and secure.
Beal
Be Safe
The Beal Be Safe is a HMS screwlock karabiner that's perfect for use with belay devices as it can accommodate two ropes at once, without the risk of them becoming overlapped in the event of a fall. The reception cradle ensures that the two ropes slide together and does not generate friction on the sides of the carabiner when the rope is braked. This is true whether rappelling or stopping a fall.
Beal
Be Lock
The Beal Be Lock is a large HMS carabiner designed for easy use with double (halves and twins) rope systems. The large surface area provides easy control in all weather. The Be Lock is particularly suitable for HMS belays and double rope manoeuvres, such as capstan or half-capstan.
